Bill Maher Trashes Left-Wing Media on Hunter Biden
4 Apr 2022
CLAY: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as the things get a little bit hotter on the Biden family surrounding everything having to do with Hunter Biden, with Biden’s brothers, with the millions of dollars that they got. Even left-wing media that mostly has ignored it, Buck, has suddenly started to acknowledge their failure. Over the weekend Washington Post published an editorial from their board saying:
“Hey, effectively we blew it on covering this Hunter Biden story.” Now, it’s not quite an apology, Buck, but, as I was reading it, I was thinking this is probably as close to an apology as you are going to get from “Democracy Dies in Darkness” Washington Post, which is not covering people in positions of power. Conveniently, 18 months after the fact, they’re now apologizing.
BUCK: But they’re not apologizing.
CLAY: Yeah.
BUCK: They’re admitting. There’s a difference.
CLAY: Good point.
BUCK: Apologizing is, “We’re sorry we did this to you.” Their audience, their readership is saying, “Good work, guys! We suppressed that story. High fives.” Everyone needs to understand this. The Democrat-aligned corporate media does not feel guilt or remorse for getting stories incredibly wrong. Look at Russia-Trump collusion, right? Clay, as long as it served the political purpose, their audience isn’t just with them; their audience applauds it. It’s true at CNN. It’s true at the Washington Post. It’s true at all these places.
CLAY: Bill Maher, who has been actually sane, especially if you consider his audience at HBO, he says it didn’t fit the narrative so that’s why this story was completely buried. Let’s play cut 4.

CLAY: It’s exactly what happened, Buck. They buried it, they got their guy into office, and now — and this is what we’ve been talking about over the past couple weeks — to me, one of the most intriguing aspects of this story is, why now? Why 18 months in, do they suddenly decide, “Oh, let’s authenticate everything.”
BUCK: Authenticate.
CLAY: Authenticate, man, everything. Why in the world did they just start doing it now? It’s a great question.
